Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, though it is along the bike path.

The cache is not accessible from the freeway.

Standing at this bike path intersection, I found myself wondering which way to go.

To solve the final coordinates, you will have to determine if the following Carson City landmarks are North or South from this intersection.  Though some of these landmarks are historical, so you may have to do some homework.

N 39 09.ABC W 119 44.DEF

A - The Nevada State Capital Building: North=3 or South=4
B - The town of Empire: North=9 or South=7
C - Dat So La Lee House: North=8 or South=2

D - Stewart Indian School: North=6 or South=5
E - Carson City Mint/the Nevada State Museum: North=6 or South=5
F - Nevada State Railroad Museum: North=9 or South=7

 

The cache can be found with feet on the bike path, no need to climb down anywere or on anything.  A small tott may be helpful with retrieval.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
